Senate District 13 Convention Report, HRC splits TX Dem Party

Sun Mar 30, 2008 at 09:34:16 AM PDT

As many of you know, Texas took the next step in certifying their March 4th Caucus results by holding County Conventions. The purpose of the County Convention was to certify our March 4th delegate slates and elect delegates to attend the State Convention in June. It's not like HRC was going to win Texas anyway, but she has officially split the Texas Dem Party. In short summary, many Texans came to the TX County Convention willing to support the Democratic Party regardless of who the nominee was (Disclaimer: I wasn’t one of them). By the time things were over, Texans were fuming mad at the campaign tactics of HRC. Many vowed not to support her PERIOD.

Demand that the Media Retracts Calling Texas for Clinton

Thu Mar 06, 2008 at 06:09:40 PM PDT

This is a call to action and my first diary so don't be to harsh! You know they say perception is reality. Tuesday night Senator Clinton was declared the winner of the State of Texas. The media narrative on March 4th was that Senator Clinton had won 3 out of 4 states including the big states of Texas and Ohio. As a result, her campaign was revived. What ensued was a massive influx of donations and the perception that Clinton was back in the game.

Why is the media still misleading the public about the Texas election results? I know we are so use to seeing the check box next to winner of a state’s primary or caucus depending on the state’s method of choosing their nominee. In Texas we have both; there should not have been a call for Texas with the caucuses still going on. It turns out that the media was wrong. Senator Obama is the projected winner of the Texas Caucus and likely the overall winner in the State of Texas.
